Vivo’s Chief Executive Officer, Han Bo Xiao, released initial sample photos captured with the Vivo X300 Ultra’s camera system on Weibo.
The shared posts particularly highlight the phone’s main and telephoto cameras, which reportedly employ 200-megapixel Sony LYT-901 and Samsung ISOCELL HPO sensors, respectively. Interestingly, instead of the typical focal length parity found in many smartphones (around 23–24mm for the main shooter), this device opts for a lens equivalent to 35mm. The camera tuning has involved a collaboration with Zeiss, a partnership Vivo heavily leverages in its premium flagship devices.
Information suggests this sensor has the capacity to capture roughly 30% more light per pixel compared to preceding versions. Reviewing the shared images, users noted sharp detail reproduction and noticeably natural color rendition. The physical size of the main sensor is also substantial—measuring 1/1.12 inches—which is expected to particularly benefit low-light performance.
Furthermore, there are indications that Vivo will support external teleconverters, enabling users to achieve focal lengths equivalent to about 200mm or 400mm. One example circulating online showcased zoom levels approaching 1600mm equivalence, though this clearly involved significant digital cropping.
Vivo has yet to announce a definitive launch timeline. Nevertheless, a prominent Weibo tipster known as Bald Panda forecasts that the X300 Ultra might debut in the Chinese market before the close of March 2026. Some speculation even points toward March 30th as a potential unveiling date.
